Should You Vaccinate Your Dog Against Canine Flu?


Dogs that spend a lot of time on outdoor excursions to the dog park, or spend time in pet boarding facilities, grooming salons, or daycare facilities should be vaccinated against canine flu. Even if your dog has already been vaccinated, you should make sure that any facility where your dog spends time implements good hygiene and sanitation policies. Be sure to visit the facility before leaving your dog in their care. There should be a proper disinfection protocol that should be followed and the staff should have proper training in preventing cross-contamination between dogs. You should also ask the facility if they require all dogs to have updated vaccinations before being allowed inside the facility. High-risk dogs should be vaccinated against both strains of the canine influenza virus (H3N8 and H3N2). There is now a vaccine that can protect dogs from both strains of the flu virus. Ask your veterinarian Ashburn, VA about it. Or visit this site.
